New Delhi:

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) on Monday said it is recalling a limited batch of XUV300 vehicles to fix a faulty suspension component. The proactive inspection and replacement of the component would be carried on a limited batch of compact SUV that were manufactured till May 19, 2019.

“This is in keeping with the company’s customer centric approach. The inspection and subsequent rectification will be carried out free of cost for all XUV300 customers, who will be individually contacted by the company,” M&M said in a regulatory filing. The company, however, did not share the number of the recalled units.

Recently, the company reported an 11 per cent decline in total sales at 51,896 units in October. The company had sold 58,416 units in the corresponding month last year, M&M said in a regulatory filing. In the domestic market, sales were down 11 per cent at 49,193 units last month as compared to 55,350 units in October 2018. Exports also registered a decline of 12 per cent at 2,703 units as against 3,066 units in the year-ago month.

In the passenger vehicle segment, which includes utility vehicles, cars and vans, the company sold 18,460 units last month as compared to 24,066 units in the same month last year, down 23 per cent. In the commercial vehicle segment, the company sold 23,582 units as against 24,353 units in the same month a year ago, down 3 per cent.

M&M Chief of Sales and Marketing, Automotive Division, Veejay Ram Nakra said, “The festive month of October was excellent for Mahindra, with retail volume exceeding wholesale by approximately 40 per cent. This robust retail performance was contributed by both passenger and commercial vehicles.”

Further, the company’s billing numbers are in line with what it had planned for the month, since the objective was to significantly correct its channel inventory, Nakra said. “We hope to see the positive consumer sentiment continue going forward,” he added.
